Award season is approaching, and the Drama Desk Award nominees for 2018 have been announced. The organization say “The Awards are bestowed annually in May in numerous categories. Nominations are made by the Drama Desk Nominating Committee, the members of which may change each season. The entire active membership then votes on those nominations.”

Our awards season begins immediately following our awards show (check our website for the announcement of our spring awards ceremony) and continue into the following spring.
